training
Joining a Training Club, where you will be able to socialize and train your Dobe, is well worth it. A well trained Dobermann is a dream and never fails to impress, but an untrained Dobermann, on the other hand, can be a handful! At the end of the day, it’s all about what you put in.
Training methods have evolved over the years and dog training is now a lot more fun for both you and your dog than in the past. Positive Reinforcement or Clicker Training is now increasingly recognized as being better and kinder than using a choke chain.
